July Foreign Mission Monthly News


Endeavoring to obey the Word of our Lord...Go ye into all the lands and preach the Gospel to every creature.

Thanks for your service

Thank you to the New Ipswich congregation for hosting the 2012 convention! It was a very blessed time. We hope many of you were able to make it as well. If you were not able to, don't forgeet that you can listen to the sermons online, including the ones by Bishop Louis Mphahlele from South Africa and Pastor Giovanni Sinay from Guatemala.

Also, thanks to all the volunteers whohelped out the Foreign Mission during the weekend. Your assistance was very appreciated! Anyone that is interested to help out during the year, either at home or in the field, is strongly encouraged to contact the FM Administrator today.

Word from the field:

Dear our beloved servant of God,
Thank you so much for your  prayer and your Doctrine of jesus christ we have here our church. We love the word of God, but we need to be trained through your mission, and you send for us more teaching to grow spiritually.....pray for us to get even one tents to cover us when we preach the word of God, because we are under the  sherded of trees. We have blind, widows, poor, pray for them. We hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sister Jane and Wilter (Kenya)

What would I do in the mission field?

People often say they'd like to come on a trip, but they don't think they'd be of any use. However, there is always a need of plenty of hands in the field! Consider the following list:
>      showing love!                                                    >      playing with kids
>      praying for the sick                                            >      working with youth 
>      presenting seminars for pastors, lay            >      participating in baptisms 
        workers, Sunday School teachers, etc.         >      helping with dental clinics
>      being a good role model                                 >      helping with medical clinics
>      teaching children                                               >      singing/playing instruments
>      leading Bible Studies                                       >      teaching English
>      sharing your life                                                 >      preaching
